Alice Springs’s crime crisis has experienced a “dramatic improvement” since the Northern Territory government implemented a two-day ban on takeaway alcohol in the community, says Alice Springs GP Dr John Boffa.

37 minutes ago

“Senior police are describing the data they’ve got on Monday and Tuesday this week as unprecedented,” Dr Boffa told Sky News Australia. “Domestic violence incidents, which were running extremely high, were much, much lower as well, about a quarter of what they were. “So we’ve seen some immediately positive impacts from the restrictions that were put in place, which are different to Stronger Futures, but we know takeaway-free days are very effective.

“It’s giving us the circuit-breaker we needed while the deliberations happen about where we go next with bringing back Stronger Futures.”

Proves the point. Don't let them drink at all ever!!!

Doesn't stop the domestic violence and rapes and incest...

Will Albo's 'voice' fix poor old Alice?

See what Albo can do in a couple of hours? We should have him just walk around cancer wards laying on hands to cure people…

Albo Cheers

Great. Now let's focus on fixing the Sky News stupidity crisis.

Yes, but the price of petrol went up.

He obviously didn’t work on the weekend.

I seriously doubt the problem was only ever that simple. What a silly claim

If the ALP can't understand something as simple as the implications of Alcohol Bans (which they removed), how are they going to understand the implications of a 731 page report detailing how the Voice will be implemented?

Clearly Skynews has been hacked.. they are actually reporting some good news, from people who actually know stuff about what’s happening there!

It’s not 🚀 science BAN the booze: protect the children you f—ken 🤡

😂😂😂😂😂 bullshit

Bullshit

Shocking video shows extent of Alice Springs' Youth crime crisisA group of youths have been filmed abusing and assaulting pub patrons in Alice Springs just days after community leaders cried out for more action to curb the embattled town's crime spree.

Hmm those youths sound a little racist to me, but no it can't be true, only whites are racists.

The ‘crime and dysfunction’ continues in Alice SpringsSky News host Chris Kenny says “the crime and dysfunction continues in Alice Springs” as there are “long-standing problems” that will persist if no action is taken. He discussed the issue with filmmaker Rachel Perkins and Central Australian Aboriginal Congress’ Ken Lechleitner. Meanwhile Albo the lying con man was chugging down beers at the tennis ignoring the problem. These woke left extremist Labor governments are destroying our country. What did ScottyFromMarketing and the coalition do to lessen the Alice Springs ticking time bomb. Instead of gifting Hillsong and others $$$$$s maybe they could have directed it to alleviate indigenous issues! Conservatives in Australia are useless is what I read here.

Uncertainty around return of alcohol bans in Alice Springs after NT Chief Minister's press conferenceNT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles would not say if she expects opt-out bans to be reimposed this week, as flagged by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. She is so far out of her depth it's frightening. Shouldn't indigenous people be able to make their own rules in their communities, why do they need more white rules implemented? China's coming

Alice Springs residents plead with govt to ‘help them save their town’Sky News host Peta Credlin says she heard first-hand from Alice Springs residents “just how bad” the town’s crime is, as locals plead with the territory and federal governments to “help them save their town”. “They’ve got a lot of the answers – only to date, no one is listening to them,” she said. She said part of the reason for this is the government has been “focused on a new constitutionally-entrenched Indigenous Voice to the Parliament”. “It hasn’t been listening to the Indigenous voices in Alice and elsewhere, warning that there’s a worsening disaster in remote Australia,” Ms Credlin said. Maybe segregation is the answer
